Abramovich disqualified as a Chelsea director

Roman Abramovich has been disqualified as a director of crisis club Chelsea by Premier League chiefs.

This is coming less than 24 hours to Blues’ encounter with Newcastle.

A Premier League statement said: “Following the imposition of sanctions by the UK Government, the Premier League board has disqualified Abramovich as a director of Chelsea Football Club.

“The board’s decision does not impact on the club’s ability to train and play fixtures, as set out under the terms of a licence issued by the Government, which expires on May 31, 2022.”
